EMT
One of the Hottest Careers in the U.S.
Working as an Emergency Medical Technician offers challenge along with personal and professional rewards that few careers provide. In our EMT program, you choose the certificate you want — Basic, Specialist, or Paramedic, and we’ll teach you all the skills you need to achieve your goal. You study under highly experienced EMT professionals, learning critical thinking, patient care techniques, incident command, and hazardous materials emergency response.
At Baker, you receive unique and specialized hands-on training and clinical experience while you study, so that when you complete our program, you are 100% employable. Plus, you have all the skills and knowledge you need to take the National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians (NREMT) exam, which is required for licensure in the state of Michigan.
